COVID-19 Impact Analysis

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the awareness camps were either canceled or postponed or switched to online mode, reducing the population pool as regulations such as social distancing was employed to contain the virus. Furthermore, most research facilities were shut down or working on a reduced force, which prolonged the research project. Moreover, regular gynecologist checkups were difficult, leaving most endometriosis patients undetected, negatively impacting the global market during the pandemic.
